9: The Lonesome Flower

Asuna's POV

"Why are you here?"

The girl standing in front of me was... Who you could say was my mortal enemy. I never thought I would see here again, especially here.

"Well, I thought I would pay you a quick visit, before you leave again." She said, twirling her long blonde hair.

I dont know how she got here. I think I might still be dreaming. No, I'm absolutely sure I'm still dreaming. She was my mortal enemy back in SAO. She was the second in command... Of the laughing coffin guild. Her same was Serenity.

"You know that you're not welcome in MY presence. I've told you this multiple times." I coldly said.

Her outfit was all white, with a black chestplate and black boots that reached her knees. She put her hand on her hip.

"Why so cold? You should be happy seeing me. Dont you remember all the fun times we've had? The time I almost killed you, and the time I stole your husband from you, oh, and we can't forget when I was about to kill him. You should have seen the look on his face." She said, making a whimpering face.

This made me even angrier.

She smirked as a strand of hair fell in front of her face.

"You know, Kirito would have made such a great husband. We were so close to it really. He loves me with all of his heart, but never knew that my soul was blacker than his coat he wore all the time. Well, he did until you stepped into the picture." She said, and looked at me with a devilish grin. She was definitely lying.

Flashback...

"Teleport, Floria!" I yelled as I stood at the Grandzam teleport gate.

I was enveloped in a series of blue and white crystals, and I closed my eyes. When I re-opened them, I was standing in the beautiful town of Floria.

I breathed in and sniffed the fresh aurora of flowers. Man I loved this floor. The floor flowed so perfectly, and all of the homes here were so cute. They were mostly made of wood, and made you feel as of you were at your grandmothers house. A friend of mine lives on this floor, and owns what I would say is the most adorable house I had ever seen.

That's just a girl thing tough.

I was meeting Kirito here today to do some leveling in the fields. It's been about a year and a half since we got stuck inside this game of death. I was at level 75, and was the second in command of the Knights of the Blood Oath at the time.

I smiled, and ran to the floor Labyrinth, where the boss was. After a floor is cleared, monsters spawn inside the boss Labyrinth. I needed to get there quickly, because I was already running late. I let my speed take over, and I ran at full speed towards the Labyrinth.

.............................

"Switch!" Kirito yelled.

"OK!" I jumped into battle just as Kirito knocked the Lizardman Lords sword out of the way. That was how a switch worked. The first player would knock the weapon up, and just as the NPC Monster would try to recover, the other player would jump in and attack. It was a pretty basic move.

"Khaaa!"

I thrust my sword into the Lizardman Lords chest, and he screeched in pain. I smirked, and swung my rapier, activating the skill called 'Vertical Square', which required me to use the Vertical sword skill, then swing from left to right, and finally, swing down vertically. This was an easy skill, and gave a lot of damage. Once I finished, a square form appeared, and vanished into thin air. He screeched once again, and swung at me again.
